Who Doesn't Love a Horehound Cough Drop?

We all know the pleasures of fall: root vegetables, warming bowls of pasta, apples. One not so great thing about fall? IT’S COLD SEASON. If you’re like us and think that candy is just as good as real medicine to cure what ails you, then you are in luck.

They’re made from the horehound plant, an herb that’s been used for centuries as a homeopathic remedy for sore throats. It’s also been known to cure “those that have drunk poyson or have been bitten of serpents.” So, you know, you’ve got all your bases covered.

You can find them at some drug stores, candy stores, or online at–where else?–oldtimecandy.com.
